Frequently Asked Questions
How is BMI calculated?
BMI equals weight in kg divided by height in meters squared (kg/m2). A 70kg person at 175cm has BMI 22.9. The tool handles all conversions when you enter kg and cm.
Is BMI accurate for athletes?
BMI has limitations for muscular individuals since muscle weighs more than fat. An athlete may show "overweight" despite low body fat. Body fat percentage provides more accuracy in such cases.
What are the WHO categories?
Underweight below 18.5, Normal 18.5-24.9, Overweight 25-29.9, Obese 30+. These are general health indicators; individual health depends on many factors beyond BMI.
